Abstract The compounds composed of transition metal cations and pnictide anions provide a rich platform for studying novel physical phenomena. Here we report on the observation of a phase transition at $\sim 70$ K and 145 K in layered compound EuCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$ and SrCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$, respectively. from both the transport and heat capacity. The thermal expansion measurements show that the variation of the lattice parameters ($\Delta L_{b}/L_{ab}$) around $T_{\rm P}$ is much less than that for a typical crystalline phase transition. Our experimental results reveal that the transition in EuCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$ and SrCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$ should be driven by subtle structural-distortion.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
